Synopsis

"Bandage Covers Wounds" explores the surprising history of the adhesive bandage, a ubiquitous item born from a simple kitchen mishap. Before its invention, treating minor wounds at home was a tedious and unsanitary process, often involving cumbersome cloths and separate adhesives. The book reveals how Earle Dickson, a Johnson & Johnson employee, ingeniously created the prototype for his wife, Josephine, revolutionizing self-care and medical practices.

 
The book is structured to first present the state of wound care before the 1920s, then detail Dickson's story and the evolution of his idea into a marketable product. The narrative then investigates the bandage’s impact on healthcare, safety, and consumer culture. Archival research, including corporate records and early advertisements, paints a vivid picture of the era.

 
This history of innovation highlights how the bandage evolved as a cultural artifact, reflecting societal values and the growing emphasis on convenience.

Just So Stories (version 2)

Rudyard Kipling

The stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. The original editions of Just So Stories were illustrated with woodcuts by Kipling himself.  Read along online and see the illustrations at mainlesson.com. Each story is accompanied by a poem, in a somewhat ballad style. Many of the stories are addressed to "Best Beloved" (they were first written for Kipling's eldest daughter, Josephine, who had died during an outbreak of influenza in 1899), and throughout they use a comically elevated style inspired by the formal speech of India, full of long and improbable-sounding words, some of them made up. As a result, it is a delight to read them aloud, and easy to memorise passages from them. (Summary from Wikipedia)
